Sapphire engagement rings, crafted especially for you

When it comes to engagement rings, the traditional diamond solitaire is no longer the standard option for many couples. In recent years, a growing number of couples has been opting for sapphire engagement rings, which offer a unique and beautiful alternative to the classic diamond ring.

One option is a ring that features the sapphire as the centre stone, surrounded by smaller diamonds. This combination of sapphire and diamonds creates a ring that is eye-catching in its own special way. This is a perfect option for those who want the best of both worlds – the unique and striking colour of a sapphire with the timeless elegance of diamonds.

Another popular option is to have sapphires down the sides of the ring while the centre gem remains a diamond. And perhaps the most popular style at the moment is a sapphire and diamond ‘Toi et Moi’ ring which positions both as centre stones and creates a design silhouette that will look extraordinary.

We’ve cut out the guesswork by hand-selecting all the sapphires in our database from our ethical suppliers. Plus, our gemstone specialists are always on-hand to give you expert guidance on how to pick the ring that’s right for you. All you have to do is decide which colour best captures your love story.

Princess Diana’s sapphire engagement ring is one of the most iconic engagement rings in the world. When Prince Charles proposed to Lady Diana Spencer, he presented her with a few options from the then crown-jeweller Garrard. Diana picked an oval Ceylon blue sapphire, surrounded by a halo of 14 round diamonds. The ring was a controversial choice as it was not custom made—a tradition in the royal family—but it was said that Diana was so fond of it that she wanted nothing else. Now worn by her daughter-in-law, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the ring was given to her by Prince William as ‘something blue’ for their wedding. Prince William said it was a ‘way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement’.

Princess Eugenie’s sapphire engagement ring is particularly unique as it contains the rare Padparadscha sapphire. This salmon pink and light orange gem is highly prized for its unique colour. This gem given to the princess was oval shaped, surrounded by a halo of round diamonds and flanked by two pear shaped diamonds. The ring was given to her by Jack Brooksbank, her boyfriend of seven years.

Victoria Beckham’s sapphire engagement ring would make it her tenth engagement ring, part of a tradition with David Beckham of receiving a new engagement ring every year. We think this sapphire could at least be 25+ carats in weight.

When it comes to pairing blue sapphire engagement rings with wedding bands, there are a few options to consider. A diamond wedding band is a classic and elegant choice, as the diamonds complement the sapphire perfectly. A plain gold or platinum band is also a popular option, as it allows the sapphire to be the focal point of the ring. A sapphire wedding band is also a beautiful option, as it creates a cohesive and coordinated look.

A sapphire eternity ring can also look incredible, either with all sapphires in one colour or an ombré assortment of darker colours, lighter colours and diamonds – like our Daisy design.

Sapphires are a perfect choice for engagement rings–so much so that they’ve been used in engagement rings for centuries. One of the biggest advantages of choosing a blue sapphire engagement ring is that it offers a wide range of options. Blue sapphires come in different shades, from light blue to deep blue. This means that there is a perfect shade of blue sapphire to match every taste and preference. It also means that you can find a ring that suits your budget and style.

Another advantage of choosing a blue sapphire engagement ring is that it offers a unique contrast to the traditional diamond ring. The deep blue colour of the sapphire is a beautiful and striking contrast to the sparkling diamond, making for a ring that is truly one-of-a-kind and sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it. Many couples opt for a diamond with blue sapphire ring, which combines the timeless elegance of the diamond with the unique beauty of the blue sapphire. This combination is perfect for those who want the best of both worlds – the classic look of a diamond ring with the unique colour of a blue sapphire.

Sapphires and diamonds have different optical properties that affect their sparkle. Diamonds are known for their brilliant sparkle, which is created by the way light is refracted and reflected within the stone. Sapphires also have a sparkle, but it is different from that of a diamond. Sapphires have a more muted and subdued sparkle, which is created by the way light is scattered within the stone.

While diamonds may be known for their brilliance and fire, sapphires are known for their depth and beauty of colour. Both sapphires and diamonds are gorgeous in their own right and it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

For those looking for vintage-inspired engagement rings, vintage sapphire engagement rings are a wonderful option. These types of rings often feature intricate and detailed designs and are perfect for those who love the charm and romance of vintage jewellery.

In conclusion, sapphire engagement rings are a unique and beautiful alternative to the traditional diamond ring. With their timeless elegance and unique beauty, they are sure to be treasured for generations to come. Whether you choose a blue sapphire, a pink sapphire, or a green sapphire, a sapphire engagement ring is a perfect choice for those who want a ring that is truly one-of-a-kind.
